I doubt we will see ghost any time soon. He joined the Church of Later day saints and stoped trying to transition. As far as last I heard anything he was a fully signed up member and that's the point when I decided he was to crazy to talk to.

I can assure you it's true, I have seen the pics of him in his later day saint stuff and everything. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to spread gossip or derail part of the forum with it etc. But seeing as this is the end I thought it was a little different.

On the one side he seems to have found some peace and mellowed out but then I kind of have issues with it in other ways. End of the day though it's his choice .

he was a messed up dick at times but I dont think it says much about all of us that we would sooner end this forum having a circle jerk about who was the biggest dick or troll or such.

At the end of the day OR made a great place here and there was a lot of brilliant times surly remembering thats the better way to end things. I only mentioned what had happend to him because id like to think we can put all this negativity to bed and just take the best of things across to the new place, sure we will all pee each other off at some point but I dont think its the thing to dwell on. He made a fool of himself a lot but I think he was lost and hurting and unsure of who he was, and while im not sure joining the later day saints was the right move who am I to judge maybe its helped him chill and learn etc.

Surprised it last this long tbh, I lost interest a long time ago personally. Thanks though for all the funny ass times on here. I've been using these forums since I was a retarded kid in 2013 and it has always been my favourite forum stay woke niggas

With no irony, I think you are possibly one of the most mature members here.

Took a brief look at GRcade yesterday and saw that we have have a decent presence there already. Will make the transition at some point over the next few days, but for now I'm going to be like a crow, perched upon a thin branch until after SONM has been laid to rest.

My activity here definitely sharply dropped mostly because I just didn't have the time to invest that I used to, and what discussion I did have online was all on Twitter. I have quite a wide network of people from ONM on Twitter and can't see myself being active on GRCade/Discord so you can follow me on Twitter @UniLlama (:

ONM really did shape quite a lot of my life and interests, and opened me up to a lot of political discussions I'd never really have encountered elsewhere at that age. I joined back in 2010 when I was 13 after lurking for about 2 years. With quite a limited scope of gaming as well as other things like TV/anime/comics/music, I can thank the forums for bringing so many things to my attention and giving me amazing experiences. I'd never really watched anime (besides the localised popular ones) or played JRPGs before ONM and a lot of them really helped me through stuff at times.

I also gained a huge network of friends from ONM, from Facebook to Twitter, and sometimes it's crazy how much ONM could somehow link back to me. I ended up on a date with a guy who knew what ONM was because his flatmate was a former member too!? I've now also been to loads of gigs with Rachel since she moved to Glasgow for uni and, because of my friends' different music tastes, I probably wouldn't have went to some alone. There are a lot of people I've kinda seen mature and grow up with me and it's crazy how it's gone from discussing games on a Nintendo forum to me getting emotional seeing people's graduation and happy couple pictures etc., especially if I remember them finding things tough at times back on the forums. The first person I came out to was a member of these forums and then after that these forums were the first place that allowed me to freely be myself before I could work up the courage to tell people in person. Even just having the Attractive People thread to thirst over guys and have an outlet is something I look back on as being really helpful lmao

I started ONM as someone really shy, insecure, and closeted 13 year old, originally opening up about how unsure I was about what I was going to do with my life. I came out, was going to uni to do a zoology degree with no real goals, and posting constant stories about some romantic interest ruining my life lol. Now, I'm still not totally set on what I'm doing! But - I'm about to graduate with a degree in Anatomy and just got a place on a postgrad course to become a high school biology teacher. I feel so much more confident in myself and I have an amazing boyfriend of just over a year now and couldn't be happier tbh.

Sorry for the huge massive essay this turned out to be, but I just wanted to share where I was at after being away for a while and thank ONM and the people on the forums that gave me a little lift along the way. :)

It's definitely been a ride guys, most of you guys have actually been pretty cool for the most part so if I don't speak to you guys outside of this place hope eton mess goes well for you. Spent far too much time here over the years but hasn't all been a complete and utter waste.

What happens with PMs when the site goes read only? Are they still accessible or do they get locked away? Just asking cos I've tried to get in contact with a few people who've disappeared while there's still a way of contacting them.
